]]> Since losing people close to me, I have become desperate to understand more about the brain, about death and about dying. Not in a morbid way at all, just in a curious way. For anyone else who wants to understand more I have come across a site called How Stuff Works and especially their section on Death and Dying.

The reason why I like reading is that the more understand, the more I come to terms with the natural side of death. The more I understand the less I fear, the less I fear the more that I can cope with the idea of death.

Maybe for some people it is better not to know, but I have never been any different. I inherited from my Dad this sense of curiousity, this sense of wanting to understand how things work and almost an insatiable desire to learn. Maybe this site will help you, like it has helped me, to come to terms with the unknown.beautiflmodelvswall.jpg

]]> ..is that if we allow pain to change us for the worse than the loss has been in vain. Any change in your life will feel uncomfortable and none more so than grief. However, life is all about evolution – indeed in a way death is about evolution, death is required for life to continue on this wonderful planet.

We can’t stop death as much as we would all want to….I think that is one of the hardest things to come to terms with….but death is bad enough, without us allowing the loss to change us into a worse human being or a human being who doesn’t live for the moment.

Why do I write this today? Well I read a note in a card today from my loved one. He wrote

“We will never know how how much time we will have to enjoy our love, lets make sure that each day, thesplitseach hour, each second is not wasted”

He may be gone – I can’t change that….but those words live on. I, myself, do not know how much time I have….and so I keep telling myself that as hard as it feels…lets not waste it.…lets be the person we want the world to see rather than the person grief can make us become.
